Abstract

The unit has an opening (5), to allow air to enter the fuel container, when the container is upright, and a closure body (7) to close the opening, when the container is inclined or tipped over. The opening is arranged in the closure cover (2) for the filling opening (3). A closure body forms an integral unit with the closure cover. The closure cover preferably has a cage to guide the closure body, which has a holder for a weight (8).
